164 Yards Away: We mapped out close Thomas Crooks got to President Trump

The roof where the person lay was less than 150 meters (164 yards) from where Trump was speaking, a distance from which a decent marksman could reasonably hit a human-sized target. For reference, 150 meters is a distance at which U.S. Army recruits must hit a scaled human-sized silhouette to qualify with the M-16 rifle. The AR-15, like the shooter at the Trump rally had, is the semi-automatic civilian version of the military M-16.

  1. Why did the secret service removed people behind Trump with in seconds of the shooting then the secret service man ducks down? Why is that lady on the right with a white blouse looking to the left like she knows it's happening then immediately starts recording with her cell phone? Look at all the people with cameras running around taking pics?

  2. How did the latter get on the most secluded part of the building for a sniper to get on top of the closest building to the stage?
    Witnesses say they were the Sheriff's Deputies and the Secret Service 3 to 4 minutes before the first shot was fired, so why wasn't President Trump taken off the stage?
    Every retired Secret Service Agent weighing in says this couldn't have been a mistake.
    It was a Coup d'Etat by the Secret Service. And I don't think it's over.

  3. “Folks…..I’ve got 95% of the Secret Service guys here with me. Doing rotation on my Diaper Changes. 1/3 of them in charge of the extra Wipes. 1/3 in charge of Pins & Powder. 1/3 in charge of my Ice Cream Cone afterwards. Just fyi.” —💩Joe

  4. Did Former President Trump – Obstruct his own Evacuation from being shot and put U.S. Secret Service Lives in Danger for Photo Opps? Why did he not have on his shoes and stop the Secret Service from evacuating him when they shouted Clear – Several Times. They had a Clear Path. The Delay put Secret Service Agents Lives in Danger and Donald Trump's Life in Danger also. Here Trump direct the Secret Service to Wait to put on his shoes. Listen to the Audio
